No, for veganism to be a religion, it would need a mythology or at least some kind of binding life-philosophy. Veganism is really just one view on one issue -- exploiting animals is wrong.

Religion doesn't require mythology.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate Well, that's true in some cases. Nevertheless, veganism doesn't have a binding philosophy for all or most areas of life.

Interesting concept. No. But veganism and religion do share a common parent in a belief system philosophy. We all subscribe to core values that we feel are our meaning of life. Whether it is the tread the world softly and leave no damage behind, or a faith in a god. or whatever it takes to be a good person, maybe following a Guru or a cult.
Why would a dietary preference possibly be a religion?

@SirenCalledLuce Religion doesn't require the worship of a deity. Buddhism is a religion and there's no G-d in buddhism.
@LoveTriumphsOverHate Ffs. Veganism isn’t a religion, there’s no worship or doctrine, just done strange people who don’t eat meat.

@LoveTriumphsOverHate Buddha is often a god in Buddhism, but nevertheless there are other faiths like animism where your point holds.

For people who care about animal lives, it is. For others its just a healthy diet

Apparently in the UK it now has some kind of protected status as a 'lifestyle choice'.

@SW-User You'll be surprised of what some of these ultra religious folks do in secrecy.
